"New Asgard, home of Vikings and Valkyries, a place that was claimed by a norse god when he fell down several millenia ago. He left centuries ago and let a Viking Duke and Valkyrie Duchess to rule this territory"
Everyone widened their eyes. Not only because vikings were revealed, it was aslo because of valkyries that rides pegasi. They became excited in the existence of flying horses and some of them were imagining flying a horse in the sky
Not only that, it was also confirmed that the legend of Thor establishing a kingdom on Earth was true, after Ragnarok
It was then that they became silent
Does that mean Asgard has fallen after Ragnarok?
That was the question that ran through the people's minds, even Philip. He narrowed his eyes and tried to assess the situation. He used Future Vision and Clairvoyance and tried to search for something that's related with Greek and Norse Mythology
「 New quest has been generated! 」
「 Investigate the state of the Nine Worlds of the Yggdrasil Tree: Incomplete 」
「 Rewards: 3 Loot Crates, +1,000,000 EXP, +10 Divinity, +10 Skill Points, +20 Attribute Points 」
'Of course the system will generate a quest!'
'...'
'Yet, the displays are still glitched'
Philip closed his eyes and thought for a second
'The reason that the system generates a task or quest whenever I'm trying to learn about something... Is that I can't learn it as of the moment...'
'Well, I guess that's fine because that's a bad habit of mine where I do tasks all in one, and I was about to that'
'But, what if there was something wrong? I must look at the Fate Timeline...'
Before Philip could enter the Fate Timeline, we was awoken by Lemegeton's voice. He opened his eyes
"The final territory of the Great Knight Kingdom is the European Union, a powerhouse in and on itself. They hold the third most power when it comes to the Sci-Tech Division. They are the center hub for Particle Research when discovering and creating new particles for AQuaRMaP to exploit"
Everyone was impressed because a great continent that focuses with myths and legends have a territory that focuses on Science. Not only that, they are also creating elementary particles of the universe for Earthenmana to take advantage of
"That's about it for the Great Knight Continent. Now, on to you Atheist"
"Thank you, Blank. So! The third Great Continent, as already you know it, is the former African continent, that will be renamed to the Great Desert Continent!"
Everyone nodded because Kamijou was right. They expected that the next great continent would be Africa
It was then that Kamijou's expression changed into a very serious one. The atmosphere dropped and it was felt by everyone in the world that were watching
"The reason that this continent was named as the Great Desert Continent is because the entire continent became a desert. All structures and buildings turned into sand for some unknown reason, except for the ancient pyramids, sphinxes, and tombstones. The continent literally became a barren wasteland of no signs of plants and water. Though, daring humans would still roam the continent to find treasures and power that were burried under the sand"
Philip narrowed his eyes once again. The situation in the Great Desert Continent was certainly mysterious and Philip wanted to know about it
'Wait...'
Philip realized it too late and the system reacted
「 New quest has been generated! 」
「 Investigate the mystery of the Great Desert Continent: Incomplete 」
「 Reward: 5 Loot Boxes, +100,000 EXP, +10 Skill Points, +10 Attribute Points 」
'Alright...'
Philip then noticed something
'Seems like tasks and quests have some differences... Well of course... Tasks are like a one time chore, and quests should be like a chain of tasks?'
He reached to a conclusion
'That should be the case because there's no way that the investigating the Nine World and the Great Desert Continent would just end there! There would be a continuation or part two? Right?'
The system then reacted
「 Condition requirement has been met! 」
「 Quest System has leveled up! 」
「 Quests will now show the amount of chain that will go through. Number of chain is subject to change depending on the condition requirements that will be met during the quests 」
'...'
Philip was speechless, but at least he would be able to know the length of the quests whenever a quest pops up. He decided to check the chain of the quests that he received later and listen to the conference first
"Well... That about it for the Great Desert Continent. There's no territory or whatsoever, it's just a great continent. So, let's move on to the last great continent"
Everyone nodded and they know what great continent should be next becaise it's the last continent. They then realized that North America and South America would turn into one great continent
"Right, the final great continent will be the Great Continent of America"
Yozu spoke as the last one to introduce the great continent
"The Great Continent of America has the North America and South America combined into one and it has five territories"
"..."
"The first great territory is the Utopia of United States of America, or UUSA. The most powerful and advanced country or territory in the world. A utopia for everyone because all crimes will be extiguished and poverty would be fixed. UUSA would be leading world peace and the desire of world development from Philip. They will achieve his wish until everyone in the world will be satisfied"
Philip felt a very strong vertigo wash over him, like a nostalgic feeling. Not because Yozu just went ahead and made him the center of attention for a powerful territory like UUSA to achieve his drrams, but because he felt like these changes in the world was supposed to happen two to three years later, not six months later
Philip was sweating bullets because he suddenly felt confused and lost
'What went wrong?'
Philip asked himself
'The Agents of Chaos...'
Philip pointed at the arrival of the Agents of Chaos
'Maybe their arrival is what changed everything? The Omega System also appeared after their arrival and the system jept repeating that an exception has occured. It also repeated after Tenshi transformed into that'
'...'
'It makes me think like I'm in some kind of simulation? Or a story?'
'...'
'Am I in a story? Am I a main character?? No... I don't have that kind of complex...'
'...'
'But, what if?'
「 ... 」
「 ... 」
「 ... 」
Dots also appeared behind Philip's vision, where he won't be able to see them. At the same time, the edges of his vision started to darken
"Philip?"
His trance was then broken by Justine when she called out to him from his right
"Are you okay?"
"Ah, yes"
Philip answered subconsciously. Justine frowned and pouted. She knows that something was wrong
With this, Justine was also in the view of the camera and everyone in the world saw her. They were entranced by her beauty and immediately fell in love
Meanwhile, Yuze and Lyre had their eyebrows furrowed from confusion after seeing Justine acting like that next to Philip
Yozu felt a disturbance and continued speaking
"Ehem! The next territory is the land of the artificial sky islands! This is where you will locate these special island because thos territory has the best quality of sky in the world. The territory of Canada"
Everyone in the world became excited, especially the Canadians. This just meant that their country would thrive well due to the artificial islands and everyone in the world looked forward to it. Their visions were very grand from envisioning the sky islands and the airships flying across islands
"Next territory will be the Caribbean Mega Port. The territory that is ruled by the Nine Pirate Lords and large trades occur on this place. This territory will be off limits to the military and satellite feed, or else, they will face the wrath of the Pirate Saint"
Everyone became interested. The concept of pirates was interesting to most people, especially from the movies and the Legend of the Seven Seas, which was a very interesting story for everyone
"The next territory is the Territory of Mexico, home to the outlaws and cowboys. A territory that is ruled by no laws and anything is allowed"
"..."
"Moving on... The entirety of the South America continent has been turned into a great territory. The Great Amazona"
Everyone widened their eyes in interest. They pondered how the Great Amazona looked like and from the name of it, they seemed to have guessed who rules the territory
"The Great Amazona is ruled by the Amazon Tribe, that became the Amazon Kingdom, with the leadership of the Amazonian Queen. The territory is surrounded by lush forestry that almost covered the entire territory and a giant jungle tree grew in the middle of the kingdom"
The camera showed the jungle tree from the atmosphere and the size was very impressive for everyone. The tree penetrated through the lower troposphere and clouds surrounded the trunk
After seeing the jungle tree, Philip widened his eyes because the tree was unusual, just like the Oriental Plum Blossom
'Ah...'
『 !!! 』
『 A World Tree has been discovered! (2/12) 』
『 Everlasting Jungle Spirit Tree 』
The special displays appeared but they are still broken and glitching
'Huh???'
『 Special condition requirements has been met! 』
『 You have found 2 of the 12 World Trees of Earth. You are now qualified to rule the land that the Everlasting Jungle Spirit Tree is connected. Divinity has been slightly increased 』
『 Affinity to the Spirit King has been increased by 1 』
『 Discover the rest of the World Trees to receive more gifts and unlock a special reward 』
'So, if the system is telling me to discover the rest of the world trees... That would mean all the world trees has grew, right? I must find them and I think I have an idea what the special reward would be...'
Philip thought to himself as Yozu was ending his statement and introduction of the Great Continent of America
"That's it for me! Now going back to Sai for the two main oceans"
"Yes, thank you... This is only trivial since it's the oceans, but trust me, there's a reason why we did this"
"..."
"We have combined all the oceans and seas into one and the first one is the Great Pacific Ocean. The pacific became turbulent and violent at its very center that it affects the neighboring seas from the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans and the seas south of Great Continent of Asia. The epicenter of the Great Pacific Ocean is off limits to everyone since it's very dangerous"
Philip understood why they had to do this because Atlantis is located at the very center of the pacific. Though, he doesn't know why they would hide the existence of Atlantis and not the other existence of legends and myths
'Maybe it's because of the magical beasts?'
"The second main ocean is the Atlantic Ocean. The sight of this ocean is very interesting because it's so calm and waves and currents are non-existent. It's close to being an uncanny valley"
'That's weird...'
Philip also narrowed his eyes at the sight of the Atlantic Ocean since it's very calm, like the ocean is entirely a reflective marble floor. It was then that the system reacted
'Right...'
「 New quest has been generated! 」
「 Investigate the mystery of the Atlantic Ocean: Incomplete 」
「 It seems that the Atlantic Ocean is composed of three mysterious objects. A glowing ice orb, a glowing meteor fragment, and a giant glowing cup 」
「 Rewards: ???, ???, ??? 」
Philip narrowed his eyes after seeing the list of rewards since it was not revealed. He then figured that the rewards would be the three mysterious objects after he investigated it, so he won't bother thinking about it for now
It was then that the conference is nearing its end and Philip pulled back his attention towards them
"So, that should be the changes in the world, now that we are now in the Mystical Age and Earth is now Earthenmana. Are there anyone who doesn't agree with the change of the world?"
Sai asked everyone in the call
"I don't mind"
"I don't care"
"I don't have any"
Lemegeton, Kamijou, and Yozu answered
"Philip?"
Sai directly asked Philip and the everyone in the world shifted his attention towards him
"Hm..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
The world was silent after he pondered for a while. It was then that he came to a conclusion
"Overall, I don't have any problems with the changes of the world. I do have a few questions though and they are questions that the public may want to know the answer to..."
"And what are they?"
Lemegeton asked
"Well... Regarding the territories..."
"..."
"Go on"
Philip abruptly stopped his sentence and awkwardly paused
"?!?!!"
Philip showed confusion in his eyes. He then looked straight in front of him and his eyes glowed with golden light
Everyone in the world that saw this wes surprised, excited, and impressed. The fact that Philip's eyes glowed with a golden light live in the broadcast further reinforces the use of magic. There was no special effects or CGI used because that's hard during a live feed, without those awkward lag and frame jumps
Yuze and Lyre were surprised and confused after seeing Philip's eyes. This made them aware of what's about to happen after being with him for a short amount of time
"Headmaster"
They both called out to Yozu and warn him
Everyone in the mansion were also confused. What's about to happen for Philip's eyes to react?
Philip then slowly looked to his right while his head is slightly turned, as if he heard a strange noise to his far right. He then abruptly looked upwards, in front of him, into the sky
The Old Man, Sai, and Ken were nervous. It was rare for Philip to act like this. It was like his face was the same as when the catastrophe happened six months ago
Seeing this, Justine also reacted. Her heart dropped and her face distorted into sadness since she had trauma six months ago
Tenshi is still unresponsive and Celine felt danger from nothing, but towards Philip's behavior. Alucard awaited for anything to happen and Clara didn't know what to do
It was then that Philip closed the laptop and threw it Sai's laptop to disable both laptops and finish the call
Everyone in the mansion was surprised and everyone in the world was confused after Philip and Sai's camera feed turned off
Lemegeton was very confused, Kamijou was interested, and Yozu stood up from his seat and tried to contact Sai or the Terra. Yuze and Lyre didn't know what to do other than try and go to Philip. But they don't know where he's residing
It was then the a broken and glitching display appeared at the center of Philip's vision. The display was pulsating and cracks formed around its surface
『 A third exception has occured! 』
At the same time, Tenshi finally responded and abruptly stood up from her seat
"A foreign power has come into my holy domain..."
Tenshi spoke and her voice reverberated through everyone's soul, almost shaking their very foundation. Her mouth couldn't be seen moving since her body is void
The Pureblood inside Philip also reacted. Since the runes and inscriptions were in the same range as Tenshi's holy domain, the Pureblood also detected the foreign power
Natsu also reacted and looked to her right because white light was emanating from her right. Her eyes widened after seeing Mei'er wake up and stand up
Her eyes were glowing with rainbow colors and the Crystal Flower that was above her chest was floating and spinning above her head. She began to walk towards Philip, which made the people who saw her surprised
It was then after a few seconds that Terra, Sai, and Ken finally detected a presnlence that invaded their domains, just outside of the mansion
"I, Amare, the Priestess of Ancient Power, the Descendant of the Ancient Ones, and the Judgement of the Universe, don't agree with the changes on Earth that you low beings has decided!"
A girl's voice echoed across the mansion and everyone felt fear and dread
